I really like nascar,going out to movies ( fav. comedys,sic-fiction,will watch a scary one if i have someone to squeez their hand in case i get scared) dont mind staying home also and watching movie on the sofa nice and cozy,I like going out to eat (fav- chinese,seafood,steak) like having bbq at home to. I have one 20 year old daughter and one almost 2 year old granddaughter, both living at home with me. It is very important to me that the person i go out with understands that family is very important to me.But i need to have time for me to date. I am really looking for someone who wants to date, not just have someone to do things for them. I want to do things together, have fun getting to no someone. Time alone, with family, friends,out,at home, whatever as long as we are together. I want to date someone who does not want to change me in any way and me them either. I like someone who really want to be romantic not cause they feel they have to but cause they want to.I am a heavy set women have been working on it for years and will continue to do so, but do not want someone who only wants to date me if i continue to loose, I like men with a few extra lbs like me, I feel like it is more and better to hug ( and i really like to hug and kiss) do not have a problem with public affection as long as it doesn't go to far ( if i would not want my kids to see it, that is to far).I have not dated for a year and then only for 3months because people i meet dont like some of my above items, so If all this is not to much for you I would really like to hear from you.

I think going out to dinner is a good first date, you have more time to talk then going to a movie ( save that for maybe the second date). I think both people arriving alone is good that way if things dont go well you can leave early, also if things go good you can drive anywhere else and feel at ease. I very much like it for the man to pay for dinner,pull my chair out or at least offer to. Maybe have a drink befor dinner but not so much we get drunk. I really think this is a great way to start to know someone, not to put eachother on the spot but just to talk to see if we even on the surface like eachother. If things go well and we both feel ok about it maybe go to one or the others house to talk more, or a coffee shop.Flowers on a date are always nice (fav-carnations)have not gotten any of those for a long time.
